As contemporary artists burden themselves with ambition to create discourse and to enlighten the public on various subjects through their unique perspectives, it is important to note that a large part of their waking hours revolve around dealing with the errands of their trade. A huge amount of “effort” is put in to afford the time and space to be able to create these unique works of art. Aesthetically, this banner is composed from a recollection of religious lecture banners that promote upcoming talks at places of worship that are seen draped at intersections and fences in residential areas. The talks often are titled with broad and intimidating questions surrounding ones faith or current issues speculating certain threats to the faith. It is also a common that the talks centre around comparisons between two or more op- posing realities such as heaven and hell. Through this work represented by a religious lecture banner, I would like to bring forward the opposing thoughts and questions that (for the most part do not resolve themselves) occupy my mind during these errand completing hours. This banner is a representation of my 24 hour of being an artist, full of ridiculously decorated uncertainties in a coordi- nated mess of conflicting tones, wrong combination of design principles and drop shad- ow (in yellow, set to a 180 degree angle and blurred at 86.4 pt). Such is life. Too many questions and not so many answers.
